Yes, CURT part number 13285 is designed for 2017-present Cadillac XT5 SUVs. Before purchasing, verify that your vehicle matches this year range and model. If you have a different model year or variant, contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 to confirm fitment.
When used as a weight carrying hitch, the CURT 13285 supports a maximum trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs. When used as a weight distribution hitch, it supports a maximum trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and tongue weight of 750 lbs. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than these hitch ratings.
The hitch weight is 38 lbs.
You will need: a ratchet, a torque wrench, 7mm and 11/16" sockets, an 8" extension, and safety glasses. No power tools or drilling equipment is required.
The kit includes: 6 square hole spacers (CM-SP2, .250 x .88 x 2.25"), 6 carriage bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/4", grade 8, yellow zinc), 6 serrated flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, grade 8, yellow zinc), and 6 pieces of 7/16" fishwire. All fasteners are grade 8 and yellow zinc plated.
No. The CURT 13285 requires no drilling. It uses existing holes on the vehicle frame and the fishwire hardware technique to route fasteners through access holes.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance.
Professional installation takes approximately 20 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation takes approximately 40 minutes.
Remove the access panel by using a 7mm socket to remove the 2 screws, then pull the access panel straight down and away from the vehicle. Set the panel and screws aside for reinstallation.
Use the fishwire technique to route 3 CM-SP2 spacers and 3 carriage bolts through the access hole and out the mounting holes on each side of the vehicle. The manual references a fishwire technique diagram for detailed routing instructions. Raise the hitch into position and secure with 3 flange nuts on each side.
All 7/16" hardware must be torqued to 70 ft-lbs using an 11/16" socket.
When the hitch is not in use, reinstall the access panel that was removed in step 1. Use the original 2 screws to secure it.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain the safety and integrity of the installation.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the install and reduce the time required.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although the CURT 13285 is rated for up to 5,000 lbs trailer weight (weight carrying) or 6,000 lbs (weight distribution), your Cadillac XT5 may have a lower manufacturer-recommended limit. Always follow your vehicle's specifications.
